A condensed, right-leaning outline face built from a single, thin contour. Letterforms are tall with tight sidebearings and a compact, straightforward construction, while corners and curves show slight wobble that reads as hand-drawn rather than mechanically perfect. The outline maintains fairly even stroke presence with modest thick–thin shifts from the drawing, and counters are left open as interior white space. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, with rounded turns in bowls and curves; the overall texture is airy and lightly textured due to the unfilled interiors.
Works best for display applications such as posters, headlines, labels, and packaging where the outline effect can read clearly. It can also suit short branding phrases or logotype-style wordmarks that benefit from a light, animated presence.
The font conveys a retro, informal energy—like marker or pen lettering traced into an outline. Its uneven contour and forward slant add motion and a friendly, DIY character that feels more expressive than corporate.
The design appears aimed at delivering an outline display look with a hand-rendered edge—combining condensed, slanted proportions for impact with an intentionally imperfect contour to keep the tone approachable and lively.
Caps and figures share a consistent tall, condensed footprint, helping headings stack tightly without looking heavy. The outline construction keeps large sizes crisp and graphic, while smaller sizes may feel delicate because the face relies on contour rather than filled strokes.
